What version of stock firmware is it running, what version of dd-wrt did you try to flash, which file did you use to flash dd-wrt? Was there any specific error number on the failure?
So i got it working again so to answer your question,
DD-WRT file version - v3.0 [Beta] Build 44715
Router firmware version - Archer C9(US)_V4_171219
I used the factory-to-ddwrt file
No error number given

You might have to use a much older firmware version for initial flash, then upgrade. First release supporting this device was 33525 according to the Supported Devices Wiki. If that successfully flashes, you can try upgrading to 44715 with the archer-c9v4-webflash.bin. Current release is 47000. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

I also tried every suggestion on here to try to flash my US version archer c9 v4 to dd-wrt and everything failed. Going to sell it on Ebay and buy me a version 3 router instead.

Registering for a "me, too" without contributing anything but that kind of comment here is moot. We never got any feedback, but I am going to presume that this is an issue where something is preventing the firmware to upload; browser or browser add-on/extension, anti-virus, firewall, etc. I guess perhaps I should check eBay for your ad and buy it and see if I can figure it out... _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

If antivirus or browser is blocking, then why did I not encounter a flashing issue while trying it on my C9 V3? V3 flashed perfectly. I have not changed anything on my computer and It was just a week ago when I flashed V3 router.
Give me your address and I will send it to you. That way you can play with it and hopefully come up with any answer. Your stating that I am not contributing anything, so here is my chance to contribute something.
